Collected another Range Rover, gave it a needed wash inside & out.. get it ready for its MOT

19.7 mpg sat at 80mph and you complain about Omega's

Eh! What year/engine/spec is that?

V8 4.6 HSE

Ouch! You're right i do whinge about the omega, it was on 20 mpg, the highest in a long while (probably the warmer weather), then I only went and took it for a blast! Think I'll stick with it though! Dare I ask the urban mpg?

No About 14mpg

I had one that I put £60 worth of petrol in it and I did 50 miles the O2 sensors where sho,t so I drove and collected the new ones and fitted them at the side of the road, so on the drive home I thought I had won the lottery when it was doing 19

Everything to do with Omega's. Breaking, Servicing from Cambelts to Oil Changes... Please Pm me for details...

Picked up my KYB springs and fitted them to the Elite, easier than I thought. I don't think I would've been able to do it without spring compressors though as I didn't drop the exhaust. New springs are about 3/4 inch maximum taller than old ones - I don't know how old the old ones are but that's alot of sinkage! I thought about grinding off the bottom of the old spring instead of getting new ones, but at £108 you can't complain. I am fitting a towbar and will be towing kevin the caravan, and it's got new shocks and donuts so why not! I forgot to clip the ABS sensor wires back on! Doh, that's a job for the morning before I go to work.

You lucky sod.Petersfield to Hindhead (a distance of 15 miles) on the A3 coming back from Pompey one nice sunny evening and I found myself sharing some rather spirited driving with an Evo owner.

350 cubic inches (that's 5.7 litre) and fed by a 600cfm 4 barrel Holley saw me get 6mpg over that 15 mile run with the Evo, but he pulled in to the petrol station at Hindhead lights last so it was worth it
